Em             C
I was always blue behind the
 G         B
Red bloodstain on my lips
You were always green with envy
Saw right through the tenderness
We were like a California sunset
Fated to die any minute
Gettin' rid of you might be
the best thing I ever did

    C                    Em
And I was seein' us in a silent movie
 G                            A
Takin' off our gloves like a violent crime scene
 C                          Em
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me
G
Oh, honey

Chorus:
                    C         Em
But I know when to run, run, run
                D         A
I know when to run, run, run
                C         G
I know when to run, run, run
                D                    A
When my makeup does, when my makeup does
                    C         Em
And I know when to run, run, run
                D    A
I know when to run, run
                    C         G
And I know when to run, run, run
                D                    A
When my makeup does, when my makeup does

I was always blue behind the
Black mascara that I cried
You could be as sweet as honey
But I knew the darkness in your mind
We were like a gorgeous bed of roses
Ready to die any minute
Gettin' rid of you might be
the best thing I ever did

And I was seein' us in a silent movie
Takin' off our gloves like a violent crime scene
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me
Oh, honey

Chorus

     C       Em     D       A
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
     C       G      D       A
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

And I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run, run
I know when to run, run
When my makeup does, when my makeup does

(Run, run, run)
(Run, run, run)
(Run, run, run)
